[[caption-width-right:333:[[FreudWasRight What a charmer]].]]
[[http://www.trippingoveryou.com Tripping Over You]] is a SliceOfLife webcomic by Suzana H. and Owen W. It is a love story about the [[BoysLove two male main characters]], Milo and Liam. It addresses the awkwardness that comes from having feelings for someone you shouldn't, especially when set in the odd mix of drama and humor that is secondary [[BoardingSchool boarding school]]. It also features their friends and their day to day lives.
Basically, think [[BritishStuffiness stuffy]] [[RichBitch brat]] [[XMeetsY meets]] [[CampGay camp]] [[AllGaysArePromiscuous flirt]]. With UsefulNotes/BritishAccents.
----
!!This webcomic provides examples of:
* AllergicToLove: Archie nearly has an apoplectic fit when it is suggested he might be left alone with the girl he is currently on a date with.
* AllThereInTheManual: understanding the first pages and the comments on them gets a lot easier if you have the cast page open.
* BaitAndSwitchLesbians: Kat and Penny.
* BathroomStallGraffiti Appears in [[http://toy.the-comic.org/comics/7/ this comic]], though similar easter eggs appear frequently in backgrounds throughout the series.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Liam has [[http://toy.thecomicseries.com/comics/53/ specific demands]] in order to keep the relationship secret, and is [[http://toy.thecomicseries.com/comics/63 unpleasantly surprised]] when Milo complies.
* BelligerentSexualTension
* BerserkButton: Milo and DirtyDancing.
* CampGay: Milo fits the bill, despite his feeble attempts to [[FlyingUnderTheGaydar tone down his camp in public]].
* CannotSpitItOut: Milo.
** PlayedWith as he does says it (and then some) in the first chapter, but it turns out it took him over two years to get there.
* CavemenVsAstronautsDebate: time travel paradoxes (or [[YouAlreadyChangedThePast lack thereof]]) are serious business.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Milo resembles {{Mika}} a lot. Ostensibly [[ShrugofGod neither confirmed nor denied]] [[CouldSayItBut by the authors]].
* ComingOutStory
* CurseCutShort: In [[http://toy.thecomicseries.com/images/comics/50/e433c8e6a690749ec1254b4ac9daeabb1048243699.png this]] strip.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Inviting Milo on Archie's date was supposed to help how?
* DoggedNiceGuy: Poor Milo. Though it's [[YourMileageMayVary debatable]] how nice he really is.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: And it's not beyond making [[http://toy.thecomicseries.com/comics/9 some people]] feel a little awkward.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Liam, repeatedly.
** he cuts off his long hair, to Milo's dismay, because his father 'said [[LongHairIsFeminine it made him look like a poof]]'.
** he later confirms that he's growing his hair out. Later still, he finally gets together with Milo, then comes home the next day only for his father to tell him that 'his hair wants cutting'.
** the pageboy cut is back in a [[http://toy.thecomicseries.com/files/extra011.png sneak peak at three years later]]. Something must have [[HappilyEverAfter gone right]].

* KissKissSlap: Kind of a MomentKiller. [[http://toy.thecomicseries.com/comics/21]]
* KissingUnderTheInfluence: Milo is partial to a little liquid courage, which Liam is quick to point out. [[spoiler:That doesn't stop him from kissing back.]] [[spoiler:In two separate occasions.]]
* HalfTruth: Liam's recounting of the events in the first chapter.
* HandBehindHead
* {{Hypocrite}}: Liam invites Milo to Archie's date because he's "good with girls", then blows up at him for demonstrating it.

* LonelyRichKid: It's implied Liam's been seeing a therapist for some time before the strip begins.
* LongingLook: It takes Liam a few seconds to detach his gaze from Milo's [[IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn unintentional tonguework]].
** Milo lights up any time he sees Liam.
* [[LoveMakesYouDumb Lust Makes You Dumb]]: Liam is adamant that [[SecretRelationship nobody must find out]] about Milo kissing him, yet engages in a makeout session with him right next to a party that half their school saw them leaving together.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Liam. [[spoiler:"No more... staring at me... with those exceptionally blue eyes."]]
* MilkingTheGiantCow: Milo is an actor, even when he's on his own.

* ObliviousToLove: Liam.
* OppositesAttract
* PuppyDogEyes: Milo has this down.
* RelationshipUpgrade
* RichBitch: Noel. Liam shares a lot of her attitudes on social status, though that might just be [[SubordinateExcuse because it's Noel]].
* SarcasmMode: Few things [[DeadpanSnarker Liam]] says are ''not'' sarcastic; however, an eye-roll frequently lets the reader know his intentions.
* SarcasticConfession: Liam pulls a mix of this and BlatantLies in [[http://toy.the-comic.org/comics/66 lame skeleton jacket]].
* SecretRelationship
* ShutUpKiss: While Liam is in the middle of promising brimstone and hellfire if his father finds out.
* {{Socialite}}: Some people want to be doctors when they grow up. Noel wants to be a debutante.
* StealthInsult: Milo to Chloe, [[spoiler: before he figures out she's on a date with Archie, not with Liam.]]
* SomethingElseAlsoRises: Liam's zipper is affected by Milo's proximity as much as the rest of him in [[http://toy.thecomicseries.com/comics/20/ these]] [[http://toy.thecomicseries.com/comics/21/ strips]].
* SpoiledBrat: Noel. (And maybe Liam.)
* StraightGay: Liam, although there isn't much evidence of his sexuality [[SingleTargetSexuality outside his interactions with Milo]].
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry:
** {{Subverted}} in Liam's [[http://toy.the-comic.org/comics/32 therapy session]].
